Categories Of IFBB Bodybuilders
IFBB bodybuilders who wish to obtain the Pro Card Status must provide the following information and documents along with their initial applications:
- Three colour photos showing the front, side and back view of the athlete. The photos must be clear and “in shape”.
- Complete personal details such as contact information, residential address, full names, and ID.
- Personal motivation of why the athlete wants to become an IFBB Pro.
- List of all the IFBB accomplishments and specific commitments for the two years before the initial application.
- Short history of the athlete’s participation in IFBB bodybuilding and fitness where relevant.
IFBB bodybuilders are divided into the following categories:
- Junior – male or female from age 18-21.
- Masters Male – age range of 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 upwards.
- Masters Female – age range of 35 and older.
- Novice – athlete that has never competed in IFBB challenges before.
- Development – athlete that has just completed the novice phase and is still learning.
- Intermediate and advanced – athlete that has completed the development stage; is confident and able to go onto the advanced level.
The novice athlete stays a novice for the first year and may stay a novice for another year if the athlete has not receive placement of fourth or lower in any of the divisions at one of the Provincial shows and has not succeeded in being selected for participation in the IFBB SA Novice Champs or for participation in the IFBB SA National Champs of the particular year. One can then re-enter as novice for another year. Should the novice take time off the year directly after, he or she will no longer have the novice status. This will mean that the person will have to enter in the open divisions in the year that the person returns. From the above information it becomes clear that commitment is required from IFBB bodybuilders even at the novice level.
If you wish to build a career as one of the IFBB bodybuilders the first step is to contact Hennie Kotze for a training program, advice, and eating guidance.

Eat Smart!
Keeping fit is not just a fad - it's a way of life.
Nutrition also plays a major role in strength training. Your diet and bodybuilding supplements have to be regulated and carefully planned out.
Training Schedule
Throughout my bodybuilding career I would say a big challenge for me was to prove that conditioning rules and not size.
I train 5 to 6 days per week. I prefer to train 1 muscle group per day and I totally exhaust that group with 4 - 5 exercises.
Sponsors!
Hennie Kotze would like to thank all his sponsors for their support over the years.
